Even though Danish students have equal access to education, their choice of studies is still influenced by social class. Young people from working class backgrounds are   36  by studies with a clear job profile and high income,   37  prestige and studies with a strong identity interest young people of parents with university degrees when choosing which studies to   38  . This is what researchers from the University of Copenhagen   39  in a new study. Students who have chosen to study medicine, architecture, economy and sociology often come from homes where the parents have    40   higher education, whereas business studies and pharmacy often   41  young people with a working class background. This is   42  by a research team from the University of Copenhagen and Aalborg University in a new study.

“There is a   43  between the studies chosen by young Danes and their   44  background. Even for the young people who have very good grades in their A-level exams, and who could successfully   45  admission to a large variety of studies, the parents’   46  of education and social class play an important role in their choice,” says Education Sociologist Jens Peter Thomsen, who is one of the researchers behind the study.

The study “The Educational Strategies of Danish University Students from Professional and Working-Class Backgrounds” is   47  60 interviews with Danish students from six different university level study programmes: Medicine, architecture, sociology, economy, pharmacy and business studies.

The young people bring with them the   48  they get from their families. If you grow up in a home with parents who are doctors or architects with a strong professional   49  , it is an obvious choice to follow the   50  path as your parents when you grow up.

“For young people whose parents are university educated,   51  such as fame and mastery of expert knowledge are important. They are   52  by an educational culture in which you are a diligent student, and where leisure activities are   53  to the identity that lies within your studies. These young people have also grown up with   54  discussions around the dinner table which also prepare them for their lives as students,” says Jens Peter Thomsen.

He also added, “Young people who come from a working class background, and have good grades have to   55  the full range of opportunities they have. But the effort to reach this goal must start early”.

Freedom and Responsibility

Freedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic.We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.

Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom.Before that there was no freedom.There were great civilizations,splendid empires,but no freedom anywhere.Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies,one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.

In Greece,in Athens(雅典),a little city in a little country,there were no helpless masses.And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed,and the unwritten,which must be obeyed if free men live together.They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted.A man was free if he was self-controlled.To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom.They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair.Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens,not because it was forced on him from the outside,but because the city was his pride and his safety.The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state.

But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers.It cannot be discovered once for all.If people do not prize it,and work for it,it will go.Constant watch is its price.Athens changed.It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance,a spiritual change which affected the whole state.It had been the Athenian’s pride and joy to give to their city.That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds.There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work.Now instead of men giving to the state,the state was to give to them.What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them;and with this as the primary object,ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing.Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share.

Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility.There could be only one result.If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good,they would cease to be free.Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom.It is to be had on no other terms.Athens,the Athens of Ancient Greece,refused responsibility;she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again.

But,“the excellent becomes the permanent,”Aristotle said.Athens lost freedom forever,but freedom was not lost forever for the world.A great American,James Madison,referred to:“The capacity(能力)of mankind for self-government.”No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek.Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind,but once man has a great and good idea,it is never completely lost.The Digital Age cannot destroy it.Somehow in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action.One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime.

In the United States alone,over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year.Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants.The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole.

Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver.A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste,the concentration(含量)of gold and other precious metals was higher in so-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals.

Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals.Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed,the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries,in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment.

Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging (包装)it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “ the production, distribution, and use of products—as well as management of the resulting waste—all result in greenhouse gas release.”Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start—for instance, buying reusable products and recycling.

In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive(动机)for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place?

Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap(气泡垫)that encased your television?

From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers.

62.By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that______.

A.the weight of e-goods is rather small

B.e-waste deserves to be made good use of

C.natural minerals contain more precious metals

D.the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste

63. The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended______.

A.from producers to governments

B.from governments to producers

C.from individuals to distributors

D.from distributors to governments

64.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.The increase in e-waste.

B.The creation of e-waste.

C.The seriousness of e-waste.

D.The management of e-waste.

Most damagingly,anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour.The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.

Not everyone experience anger in the same way;what angers one person may amuse another.The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces.In contemporary culture,physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated.We no longer regard duels(决斗)as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another.

Anger can be identified in the brain,where the electrical activity changes.Under most conditions,EEG(脑电图)measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal(额叶前部)areas.Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition(意向)that most of us possess most of the time.But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and,as a result of this,we’re likely to react.And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions,whether positive or negative.

Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour:we move closer to people we like.Most negative emotions,in contrast,are associated with avoidance behaviour:we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious.But anger is an exception to this pattern.The angrier we are,the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger.This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger:the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger.This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry(不对称)of EEG activity.Interestingly,this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy(同感)towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response.In defensive anger,in contrast,the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.

65.The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger______.

A.usually has a biological basisB.varies among people

C.is socially and culturally shapedD.influences one’s thinking and evaluation

66.What changes can be found in an angry brain?

A.Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.

B.Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.

C.Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour.

D.Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition.

67.Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?

A.Approaching the source of anger.B.Trying to control what is disliked.

C.Moving away from what is disliked.D.Feeling helpless in the face of anger.

68.What is the key message of the last paragraph?

A.How anger differs from other emotions.B.How anger relates to other emotions.

C.Behavioural responses to anger.D.Behavioural patterns of anger.

Never before had a Kitchen so much of a History

It tells of Freedom,Success,and of the Architecture of big American cities.Because that is where it started:in the second half of the 19th century!

Welcome to a new Era of Kitchen Interior Design

Back then,a Generation of successful American Entrepreneurs dreamt of a new style of Architecture to express their personal wealth.This dream was realized by young architects such as Daniel Burnham and Stanford White.They all had studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.And they created a new style for Architecture and Interior Design,named after the famous French Art Institute:Beaux-Arts.

SieMatic BeauxArts Breaks and Creates

In fact it was not a new style at all,but a composition of styles from different periods and cultures.Many world-famous structures such as the Chicago Art Institute and the Statue of Liberty account for it.But what does that have to do with your kitchen?Just as much as you want it to.Because in the same way that the anti-conventional architects back then took the freedom to combine elements from different historical eras,today,you too can break the conventional rules of style and create something new:your own personal composition of your kitchen.For that,SieMatic BeauxArts offers unique opportunities:A broad range of seemingly conflicting features that you combine to a harmonious design of your own.You can choose from menu of various forms,appealing colors,and precious materials,to create an environment that is much more than just a kitchen:a reflection of your personality.

69.Why did the BeauxArts style attract American entrepreneurs?

A.It helped display their money status.

B.It was created by famous architects.

C.It was named after a famous institute.

D.It represented the 19th century urban culture.

70.What is unique of SieMatic BeauxArts?

A.Its designs are anti-conventional.

B.Its designs come from famous structures.

C.Its customers can enjoy their own composition.

D.Its customers can choose from various new styles.

Imagine living in a country torn by war. Or maybe you live in a place where there are few jobs and little chance to earn a living. Your family decides to move — not to another town, but to another country. You and your family have become immigrants. People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes.

People become immigrants for many reasons. The most common one is economic opportunities. Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmland, or business opportunities.

Other people become immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters. They are refugees (难民). Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest. Others are seeking freedom to express their religious views. Still others are uprooted by disasters, such as terrible flooding or drought.

Some people have become immigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains.

Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearly 500 years, immigrants have landed on America’s shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked low-paying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do.

Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language common to most Americans. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have become part of American life.

The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize (使成为殖民地) new lands. By the mid-1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American Southwest. French immigrants arrived in the early 1600s and built their first colony in Canada. The English also arrived in the early 1600s. They established 13 colonies along America’s Atlantic Coast.

In the 1700s, England became the major power in colonial North America. But many European immigrants came to live in the English colonies. They included people from Sweden, Holland, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland.

Immigrants still come to the United States seeking freedom and economic opportunities. Most new immigrants no longer come from Europe. They come mainly from Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia.

Today, the U. S. government limits the number of immigrants into the country each year. People who sneak illegally into the United States are called illegal immigrants, who, if caught, would be sent back to their home countries.
